ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 23 -The court martial trial in the case of Mid- shipman Minor Meriwether, Jr. on three charges connected with the death of Midshipman James RK. Branch, with whots he engaged in a fst fight, has opened bere The cath was administered by the president of the gut, Admiral Ram- say, to Captain Marix as judge adve cafe, and he admivistered the oath to the members of the court without fur ther Incident. John W. Hulse of Wash lugton was sworn as stenographer, The court and officers being sworn, the charges and specifications were read to Midshipman Meriwether, who plead ed not guilty to the whole and to each charge and specification separately, The sad Incident of the death of young Branch under such circum- stances has been widely noticed and bas called attention to the existence at the Naval academy of an unwritten code governing the student body, but quite outside the authoritative regula tions and generally in violation of them Under the “code” every detail of these fights is fixed, the midshipmen on duty abstaining from reporting them and excusing from formation those connect ed with them. These facts were very clearly brought out by the judge ad vocate. Meriwether had been gener ally disliked, ove witness sald, because he was too “ratty”—that is. It was ex- plained, that he did not abide by the rules laid down for the government of the lower classmen. Some of these were that he should never enter “lovers lane.” an academy walk; that he should turn all corners at right angles, should not jook at an upper classman and should answer most respectfully when addresked by one of them; that be must Rever touch the table nor ask for any: thing during a meal and under no cir cumstances “fuss''—that is, to be In the soclety of young women. These rules and many others are contained in that part of the “code” relating to the gov- ernment of under classmen. Branch had been one of the midshipmen who, socording to the testimony, determined fo make life “not worth living" for Meriwether because he would ‘not abide by these rules, and from’ that the enmity arose. The story of the bad blood between the two cadets and of Meriwether's vis- It to Branch's room, which led to the fatal fight, was told by midshipmen. Midshipman Pritchard, Branch's roommate, testified that Meriwether came to their room when Branch was in bed and called the latter a “d-n liar,” a “d—n sneak” and other op- probrious epithets, Midshipman Yeager, who accompa nled Meriwether on that occasion, tes- tified that Branch called Meriwether a “d—n fool” Another witness sald that Meriwether had sald be hated Branch and intended to force him to fight. Branch's roommate testified that Branch had said he did not report Meri- wether for the alleged breach of rules. A notable incident wus the objec tion made by counsel for the defense to Commander Sidney A. Staunton as a member of the court on the ground that he had expressed the opinion that Meriwether should be dismissed from the academy. The court sustained the objection of counsel. . The first witnesses called were Mid. shipmen James P.. Van de Carr and Earl V. Pritchard, classmates of Branch, and their evidence bore direct ly on the second charge, that of quar- rellag with a person In the naval sery- ice, with an Indirect relation®to the mal charge of manslaughter, wether and who went to the room with him on the night of the quarrel, tosti- fied that Branch had called Meriwether a "d-n fool’ when he came to the room and sald that he was “‘—— ratty.” Midshipman Harold V. McKittrick, who acted as a second for Branch dur. ing the fight, told of the arrangements for it and the insistence of both par- ties that the fight should be to a finish. The fight Itscif, be testified, lasted over twenty-two rounds of two mig utes each, with oue minute Intermis- slon. Early In the fight oue of Branch's ayes was closed, but he was bolding his own. At the end of the twentieth round Meriwether fouled by hitting in a clinch and offered to forfeit the fight. This Branch and his seconds would not allow, insisting on a finish This Is regarded as a strong point for Meriwether, showing that he wished the fight to stop. Midshipman A. W. Fitch, wha ref- ereed the fight which was followed by Branch's death, xaated that he Lad of- ficiated lu nineteen such contests, and Midshipman McKittrick testified that he had taken part in nine.

While I ain no pauper and have accumulated money in twenty-five years of the lig: our business, [ don't feel like loainz $5,000 for a man like Halpin, and I'll bend every energy to have him brought back.” It is said that the attorney general expects to have Krup, alias Halplp, In custody within a couple of days.
